Soft Skills Coach
I’m a CPA and seasoned career business analyst, applications developer, and project management professional with 25 years of progressive experience. Over my career, I’ve moved between employee and consulting roles providing a unique dual-sided perspective. I understand what it’s like to be an employee who wants to maximize their contribution and advance, as well as, a consultant who must be adept at engendering customer value using tools and experience. Today as an IT professional, I continue to competently use a variety of tools to promote customer value. However, technical skills are not enough; My career exposure has taught me a myriad of soft skills to effectively manage projects, facilitate meetings, present information, communicate verbally/in-writing, and lead teams of professionals. I now want to share my knowledge and experience with other professionals who seek to fortify their skills and sharpen their competitive advantage.
Provincial regulators of CPAs in Canada do not require that independent providers of CPD be approved to offer courses. Instead, individual CPAs are responsible for assessing whether a CPD activity meets their requirements, and may take activities from any source provided those requirements are met.
Every course offered on LearnFormula is delivered by a qualified subject matter expert or learning organization, and advances learning objectives that are relevant to the responsibilities or professional competencies of Canadian CPAs. All activities on LearnFormula are quantifiable in terms of hours, and are also verifiable, in that users receive documented evidence of their attendance via a certificate of completion after finishing a course (and this certificate is stored by LearnFormula indefinitely). Nearly 100,000 Canadian CPAs successfully satisfy their CPD requirements via LearnFormula on an annual basis.
Great course! The art of communication is very well explained and many examples are given to illustrate points.
When the speaker started and was introducing the course, I felt that his grammar was not ideal and there were some 'uhs' and 'ahs'. However, when I went through the course, his presentation was so clear and so well covered and so intended that I learned a great deal about communication. I could identify so many of my shortcomings and was so encouraged by his alternatives that I feel that I have really learned even more than I thought that I could. I will go back to this material again and again. The presenter was first rate and so was the course material. It was really well done!
Good content. Thanks
Excellent tips. Very informative.
